Crazyer things may have happend at some point than Burroughs not making the team again, but at this point he's the best wrestler in the world. He's undefeated in international competition and just won an olympic gold

Not saying its impossible he loses out, but it definitely doesn't seem like the smart bet at this point

I don't have that confidence in Metcalf. Unfortunately I think he has peaked and will never be a serious Gold medal threat.
I think someone like Oliver has more upside potential.
